We especially want to thank everyone who helped us in our project!
We thank the Institut Pasteur administration and support services for hosting the iGEM Pasteur team composed of students from several universities.
We thank the professors and coaches of Pasteur Institute, ESPCI, ENSCI, Paris sud for advising us.
Professional advice
For their most precious professional advice, special thanks and attributions to :
• Dr Anna Bella Falloux( entomologist, head of Arboviruses and Insect Vectors (AIV) research unit in the department of virology at Institut Pasteur): Who gave us detailed information about habitat and the behavior durind feeding process/ventures of mosquitoes. She helped us to have detailed information on mosquito ecology/habitat (types:aedes, culex) and behavior during feeding sorties(anthropophily, hematophagy).
• Civic Drone. The meeting with Mr.Edouard Guilhot-Gaudeffroy and his team from Civic was intended to discuss with professionals to have more accurate information concerning the use of drones. This strategy concerns the part of the Mos(kit)o project related to remote access to areas with difficult terrain/climate levels. In particular we wanted to discuss data archiving, uploading, deposition-retrieval and analysis of Mos(kit)o traps anchorage to the UAVs.
• EID Méditerranée (Entente Interdépartementale de Démoustication = Interdepartmental Mediterranean board for the control of mosquito).We had a skype meeting and mails exchanges with Mr. Gregory Lambert, a medical coordinator and entomologist at EID. This interview has allowed us to work in a more targeted way, so that our project is as efficient as possible, taking into account the mosquito lifestyle and optimizing safety for surrounding populations.
• CIBU. CIBU is the Urgent Response to Biological Threats at the Institut Pasteur, supervised by Dr Jean-Claude Manuguerra. We presented our project in front of all members of the CIBU lab and exchanged ideas about our method of detection, our global device, and the intellectual property protection offered at iGEM during the Q & A session that followed our talk.

Labwork
We want to thank our lab technicians who helped us whenever we needed it for labwork.
Difficult technique support
Dr.Deshmukh GOPAUL provided amount of help in the lab (protein purification with FPLC (Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography), in Chemical part and Microbiological experiments).
Vincent LEGROS provided amount of help in Immunologic assays and also in Microbiological experiments.
Design, Project, and Human Practices
We especially want to thank our four great coaches: Dr. Deshmukh Gopaul, Vincent LEGROS, Guillian GRAVES and Patsy POLSTON who have always been there to support us and mentor us for the project.
Dr.Deshmukh GOPAUL, for heading every part of the project.
Guillian GRAVES, supported us in developing our trap and detection device, he also coached us for our presentations.
Vincent LEGROS supported us for the bibliographic research, the questionnaires about synthetic biology, he also coached us for the presentations, and provided us his expertise in Virology .
Patsy POLSTON, supported us for each part of Human Practice (Application scenario, Techno moral scenario, Communication, Collaborations), the Fundraising and she coached us for our presentations.
